Blueberry Streusel Coffee Cake is so fluffy, moist, buttery, and bursting with sweet blueberries and sweet streusel topping. Pour a simple vanilla glaze over top and garnish with more juicy berries for the best homemade coffee cake ever!
Heat the oven to 375℉. Prepare a 9-inch springform pan and spray with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
Make The Streusel Topping
Combine all the streusel topping ingredients into a small mixing bowl. Use your clean hands, a fork, or a pastry blender to combine everything together until you have a thick crumb mixture. Set aside for later.
1 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup light brown sugar, 1/3 cup + 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 6 tablespoons butter
Make The Blueberry Coffee Cake
In a large bowl, add the flour, granulated sugar, softened butter, milk, egg, baking powder, and salt. Use an electric hand mixer to beat everything together until combined and forms a smooth batter.
2 cups all-purpose flour, 3/4 cup granulated sugar, 4 tablespoons butter, 3/4 cup whole milk, 1 large egg, 1 tablespoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon salt
Add the blueberries and very gently stir just until they are combined into the batter.* You don't want to mix too hard or else the fresh berries will burst and bleed into the batter.
2 cups fresh blueberries
Evenly spread the coffee cake batter into the prepared pan. Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over top the batter.
Bake for 55-65 minutes. The coffee cake will be puffed up and a toothpick inserted into the middle should come out with dry tender crumb on it. The edges of the cake will be golden brown and slightly pulled away from the pan. * If the top is getting too browned then loosely lay a piece of foil over top the coffee cake for the last several minutes of the bake time.
Remove the coffee cake from the oven and allow it cool for 20 minutes at room temperature. Loosen the edges of the cake from the pan using a butter knife and then unhook and remove the sides of the springform pan.
Make The Glaze
Combine all the glaze ingredients in a small bowl and mix together until desired consistency is reached. Add more or less, or more or less powdered sugar, to achieve a pourable consistency or a thicker more spreadable consistency.
